By actively encouraging knowledge dissemination and discussion we hope to raise awareness about key ecological issues and build opportunities for collaboration among our partners.
In 2020, we celebrated ARI’s 50 years of Science that Matters with the ‘ARI Legacy Seminar Series'. Recordings of these are available below where you can hear from some of ARI’s most esteemed researchers as they reflect on ARI’s scientific achievements, the evolution of environmental research and policy in Victoria, and how ARI might lead biodiversity research in future. We all have much to learn from each other, and the Seminar series continues to be an important part of the intellectual life of our Institute.
Scheduled seminar sessions are broadcast by webinar on Mondays 1-2 pm, unless otherwise indicated. Each session runs for a total of one hour and includes time for questions. Sessions may involve multiple speakers giving shorter 'snapshot' style presentations. Note that the schedule is subject to change at short notice.
If you would like to be on the seminar email notification list, which includes receiving presentation summaries and webinar (live viewing of seminar slides with audio via the internet) details, please subscribe below.

Note that until further notice seminars will not be held at ARI and will only be accessible via Microsoft Teams webinar. A selection of seminars from 2020 and 2021 are available to view via the recorded webinar - see links below:
